EU will start contributing to the Amazon Fund, indicates vice-president of the bloc's Executive

What is the Amazon Fund?

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) began judging this Thursday (6) an action that alleges the federal government's omission in not executing the Amazon Fund funds. But do you know what the Amazon Fund is? And why is he on trial at the STF?

“What we can talk about today is that we are going to contribute to the fund. What I can’t say today is how much we still have to define this in the European Union,” he said. Timmermans, in an interview with TV Globo.

The vice-president of the European Union Executive added that he hopes that the contribution to Amazon Fund be formalized before the COP28, which takes place between November 30th and December 12th, in Dubai.
